Chapman, Frederik Henrik af Architectura navalis mercatoria. Stockholm, 1768, folio (53 x 40cm.). First edition, double-page engraved title, double-page engraved dedication leaf, 3 double-page leaves of index of the plates in Swedish, French and English, and 62 double-page engraved plates (each plate 53 x 76.5cm), paper watermarked J. Honig & Zoon and C. & I. Honig, late nineteenth century black morocco-backed marbled boards, lettered in gilt on spine, binding slightly rubbed Note: An exceptionally clean copy of the most famous eighteenth century work of naval architecture. Frederik Henrik af Chapman, universally acknowledged as the father of naval architecture, was born in 1721, the son of a British Naval officer who had joined the Royal Swedish Navy in 1716, and an English mother, Susanna Colson, the daughter of a London shipwright. He spent long periods in France, Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands and England studying naval architecture before eventually settling in Sweden where he devoted himself to naval architecture and ship building. In 1765 he took leave of absence from his work as chief naval architect for the Swedish Archipelago Fleet based at Sveaborg (off Helsinki) to devote himslf for two years to Architectura navalis mercatoria which, in Chapman's view, exemplified the best and most interesting vessels of the time. The 62 copper engravings depict vessels and craft from both Sweden and abroad. Some were designed by Chapman himself, but many of them were vessels or types which he had encountered on his travels or seen around him, and which had attracted his interest. The book covers everything from warships to cargo boats and small fishing craft, and the plates are remarkable for their clarity, detail and beauty. The text describing the plates was not published until seven years later as one of the chapters in a book entitled Tractat om Skeppsbyggeriet. A very rare work, only four copies held by British institutional libraries (Cambridge, Glasgow, British Library and University of London).

Douglas Cause Proof in the conjoined processes, George-James, Duke of Hamilton, Lord Douglas Hamilton, and their tutors, and Sir Hew Dalrymple of Northberwick, Baronet, pursuers, against the person pretending to be Archibald Stewart, alias Douglas, only son now on life of the marriage between Colonel John Stewart, afterwards Sir John Stewart of Grandtully, and Lady Jane Douglas, sister-german of Archibald Duke of Douglas, defender .... Edinburgh, 1766; Memorial for George-James Duke of Hamilton .... Edinburgh, 1767; Proof for Archibald Douglas of Douglas, Esquire, defender ... Edinburgh, 1766; Memorial for Archibald Douglas of Douglas ...Edinburgh, 1766; The case of Archibald Douglas, Esq and his guardians, appellants against His Grace the Duke of Hamilton, Sir Hew Dalrymple, and others, respondents to be heard at the bar of the House of Lords, on Monday, the 16th of January, 1769. Edinburgh, [1769]; another copy of the same; Case of the Right Honourable Dunbar Earl of Selkirk, heir of tailzie and provision, and claimant of the estate of Douglas, etc. Edinburgh,1761 etc. Together 12 pieces in 7 volumes, 6 4to., 1 folio, variously bound in half calf marbled boards, paper boards, etc., with engraved facsimile letters (some folding), pedigrees, etc. Note: A litigation which aroused enormous interest in Scotland in the 18th century. Archibald, 3rd Marquess and 1st Duke of Douglas, owner of vast estates, died without issue in 1761. His sister, Lady Jane Douglas, married in 1746, Colonel John Steuart, but kept the marriage a secret from her brother, allegedly giving birth in Paris to twin sons, the younger of whom died in 1753. Lady Jane too died in 1753. In 1761, ten days before his death, the Duke named as his heir Archibald, Lady Jane’s eldest son. In 1762 the Duke of Hamilton and others sought to have Archibald’s service as heir set aside on grounds that he was not Lady Jane’s son. In 1766 amid intense popular interest, a full argument was heard and long memorials of evidence prepared and presented. In 1767 the full Court of Session, by eight to seven, decided in favour of the Duke of Hamilton, which resulted in riots in Edinburgh and the judges on the majority side having their windows. On appeal to the House of Lords, the Court of Session verdict was overturned to the joy of the Edinburgh mob - more judges windows being broken and the Hamilton apartments in the Palace of Holyrood being plundered, before the troops finally restored order.

Barclay, John His Argenis: or, The loves of Poliarchus and Argenis.....translated out of Latine …. London: G. P[urslowe] for Henry Seile, 1625. First edition thus, folio, woodcut printer's device on title and attractive woodcut initials and ornaments, contemporary polished calf with border fillets (partly gilt), gilt initials 'T.M.' stamped front and back in an 18th century style, rebacked, spine and old title label remounted, paper ruckled, very occasional minor marginal stain, small tear in one leaf just touching one word Note: STC 1392; Lowndes 112; Graesse I 291. The first edition of this translation by Kingesmill Long of the principal work of John Barclay, born in France but of partly Scots parentage. It is a political and historical romance, in which there is reference...to recent events on the Continent, notably to the wars of the League, and the characters have some resemblance to actual personages, such as Henri IV of France (Oxford Comp. to Eng. Lit., 4th ed.).. The verse portions in this edition are stated by STC to have been translated by T[homas] May. Provenance: Possibly bound for Thomas Martin (1691-1771) of the Society of Antiquaries.

Estienne, Robert Dictionarium, sev latina lingua thesaurus, Editio Secunda. Paris: Robert Estienne,1543 , 3 volumes, folio, text in double columns, large decorative white on black woodcut initials, Estienne's large Noli Altum Sapere device on title, original vellum with gilt calf labels, spine of vol. 1 neatly repaired, with 19th century library stamps on title and first page of each volume, small marginal paper repairs to gatherings p-q and Ss, flaw repaired with loss to AA4, small hole in III3, and small tear repaired in last folio with very slight loss, light spotting, some light marginal dampstaining in volume three Note: Adams S 1820; Brunet II, 1070; Graesse II, 506; Renourard p. 55: 7; Printing and the Mind of Man, 62. This is the third and most complete edition of Estienne's monumental Thesaurus and is considered definitive, although noted as editio secunda on the title page as Estienne probably did not consider the first edition of 1532 complete enough to be worth mentioning. The Thesaurus can be considered as one of the great achievements of the late renaissance as it opened up and made accessible a world of scholarship hitherto reserved for a very small elite. The series of dictionaries edited and published by the Estienne or Stephanus family is perhaps the most significant, though by no means the sole achievement of the most renowned family of scholar printers in history. Robert I....was the greatest of them all...above all, as the first scientific lexicographer of both ancient and modern languages...(his) work is still unsurpassed as a whole. (PMM). Provenance: Elizabeth Armstrong's copy with her printed ex-libris on first pastedown.

L'Hopital, Michel de Epistolarum libri sex. Paris: apud Mamertum Patissonium Typographum Regium, in off. Roberti Stephani, 1585.

Note: BM STC French Books p. 265; Adams L 625; Renouard 186:3; Brunet III 1046. First collected edition of the poems of Michel de L'Hôpital (1504-1573), one of the greatest chancellors of France, foremost amongst his countrymen in attempts to reconcile both Catholic and Protestant. Throughout his life he cultivated Latin poetry writing particularly on contemporary personages and historical events e.g. the marriage of the Dauphin and Mary, Queen of Scots; the coronation of Francis II; the raising of the siege of Metz; the taking of Calais and the modern art of government. After his death his friends Pibrac, de Thou and Scévoie de Sainte Marthe combined to produce the present volume of substantially unpublished writings, in his memory. It was edited by his grandson, who preserved their chronological arrangement and thus their particular value as a continuous political commentary of the day.

The trip takes the pair from London through to Pisa, Rome, Tivoli, Brindisi, Alexandria, Cairo, Tel El Kebir, Tomalia, Port Said, Jaffa, Jerusalem, Bethany, Jericho, Masala and Bethlehem.

Both of these events are well documented in the text and supported with a number of sketches.
